FIELD OF INVENTION

The present invention relates to boron-containing compounds, compositions, preparations and their use as inhibitors of beta-lactamase enzymes and as antibacterial agents.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Antibiotics are the most effective drugs for curing bacteria-infectious diseases clinically. They have a wide market due to their advantages of good antibacterial effect with limited side effects. Among them, the beta-lactam class of antibiotics (for example, penicillins, cephalosporins, and carbapenems) are widely used because they have a strong bactericidal effect and low toxicity.

To counter the efficacy of the various beta-lactams, bacteria have evolved to produce variants of beta-lactam deactivating enzymes called beta-lactamases, and in the ability to share this tool inter- and intra-species. These beta-lactamases are categorized as “serine” or “metallo” based, respectively, on presence of a key serine or zinc in the enzyme active site. The rapid spread of this mechanism of bacterial resistance can severely limit beta-lactam treatment options in the hospital and in the community. Currently available beta-lactamase inhibitors (for example, clavulanic acid and tazobactam) are poorly active against the diversity of beta-lactamase enzymes (both serine- and metallo-based) now emerging clinically. There is an urgent need for new beta-lactamase inhibitors with broadened enzyme spectrum.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Described herein are compounds that modulate the activity of beta-lactamases. In some embodiments, the compounds described herein inhibit beta-lactamases. In certain embodiments, the compounds described herein are useful in the treatment of bacterial infections.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Beta-lactamases are typically grouped into 4 classes: Ambler classes A, B, C, and D, based on their amino acid sequences. Enzymes in classes A, C, and D are active-site serine beta-lactamases, while class B enzymes are Zn-dependent. Newer generation cephalosporins and carbapenems were developed partly based on their ability to evade the deactivating effect of the early serine-based beta-lactamase variants. However, a recent surge in new versions of serine-based beta-lactamases—for example Class A Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamase (ESBL) enzymes, Class A carbapenemases (e.g. KPC-2), chromosomal and plasmid mediated Class C cephalosporinases (AmpC, CMY, etc.), and Class D oxacillinases—as well as Class B metallo-beta-lactamases (e.g. VIM, NDM) has begun to diminish the utility of the beta-lactam antibiotic family, including the more recent generation beta-lactam drugs, leading to a serious medical problem. Indeed the number of catalogued serine-based beta-lactamases has exploded from less than ten in the 1970s to over 750 variants (see, e.g., Jacoby & Bush, “Amino Acid Sequences for TEM, SHV and OXA Extended-Spectrum and Inhibitor Resistant β-Lactamases”, on the Lahey Clinic website).

The commercially available beta-lactamase inhibitors (clavulanic acid, sulbactam, tazobactam) were developed to address the beta-lactamases that were clinically relevant in the 1970s and 1980s (e.g. penicillinases). These beta-lactamase inhibitors are poorly active against the diversity of beta-lactamase enzymes (both serine- and metallo-based) now emerging clinically. In addition, these enzyme inhibitors are available only as fixed combinations with penicillin derivatives. No combinations with cephalosporins (or carbapenems) are clinically available. This fact, combined with the increased use of newer generation cephalosporins and carbapenems, is driving the selection and spread of the new beta-lactamase variants (ESBLs, carbapenemases, chromosomal and plasmid-mediated Class C, Class D oxacillinases, etc.). While maintaining good inhibitory activity against ESBLs, the legacy beta-lactamase inhibitors are largely ineffective against the new Class A and Class B carbapenemases, against the chromosomal and plasmid-mediated Class C cephalosporinases and against many of the Class D oxacillinases.

To address this growing therapeutic vulnerability, and because there are three major molecular classes of serine-based beta-lactamases, and one major class of metallo-beta-lactamases, and each of these classes contains significant numbers of beta-lactamase variants, we have identified an approach for developing novel beta-lactamase inhibitors with broad spectrum functionality. In particular, we have identified an approach for developing compounds that are active against both serine- and metallo-based beta-lactamase enzymes. Compounds of the current invention demonstrate potent activity across all four major classes of beta-lactamases.

The present invention is directed to certain boron-based compounds (boronic acids and cyclic boronic acid esters) which are beta-lactamase inhibitors and antibacterial compounds. The compounds and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts are useful alone and in combination with beta-lactam antibiotics for the treatment of bacterial infections, particularly antibiotic resistant bacterial infections. Some embodiments include compounds, compositions, pharmaceutical compositions, use and preparation thereof.

Definitions

In the following description, certain specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of various embodiments. However, one skilled in the art will understand that the invention may be practiced without these details. In other instances, well-known structures have not been shown or described in detail to avoid unnecessarily obscuring descriptions of the embodiments. Unless the context requires otherwise, throughout the specification and claims which follow, the word “comprise” and variations thereof, such as, “comprises” and “comprising” are to be construed in an open, inclusive sense, that is, as “including, but not limited to.” Further, headings provided herein are for convenience only and do not interpret the scope or meaning of the claimed invention.

Reference throughout this specification to “one embodiment” or “an embodiment” means that a particular feature, structure or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment is included in at least one embodiment. Thus, the appearances of the phrases “in one embodiment” or “in an embodiment” in various places throughout this specification are not necessarily all referring to the same embodiment. Furthermore, the particular features, structures, or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments. Also, as used in this specification and the appended claims, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” include plural referents unless the content clearly dictates otherwise. It should also be noted that the term “or” is generally employed in its sense including “and/or” unless the content clearly dictates otherwise.

The term “antibiotic” refers to a compound or composition which decreases the viability of a microorganism, or which inhibits the growth or proliferation of a microorganism. The phrase “inhibits the growth or proliferation” means increasing the generation time (i.e., the time required for the bacterial cell to divide or for the population to double) by at least about 2-fold. Preferred antibiotics are those which can increase the generation time by at least about 10-fold or more (e.g., at least about 100-fold or even indefinitely, as in total cell death). As used in this disclosure, an antibiotic is further intended to include an antimicrobial, bacteriostatic, or bactericidal agent. Examples of antibiotics suitable for use with respect to the present invention include penicillins, cephalosporins and carbapenems.

The term “β-lactam antibiotic” refers to a compound with antibiotic properties that contains a β-lactam functionality. Non-limiting examples of β-lactam antibiotics useful with respect to the invention include penicillins, cephalosporins, penems, carbapenems, and monobactams.

The term “β-lactamase” denotes a protein capable of inactivating a β-lactam antibiotic. The β-lactamase can be an enzyme which catalyzes the hydrolysis of the β-lactam ring of a β-lactam antibiotic. Of particular interest herein are microbial β-lactamases. The β-lactamase may be, for example, a serine β-lactamase or a metallo-β-lactamase. β-Lactamases of interest include those disclosed in an ongoing website that monitors beta-lactamase nomenclature (www.lahey.org) and in Bush, K. and G. A. Jacoby. 2010. An updated functional classification of β-lactamases. Antimicrob. Agents Chemother. 54:969-976. β-Lactamases of particular interest herein include β-lactamases found in bacteria such as class A β-lactamases including the SHV, CTX-M and KPC subclasses, class B β-lactamases such as VIM, class C β-lactamases (both chromosomal and plasmid-mediated), and class D β-lactamases. The term “β-lactamase inhibitor” refers to a compound which is capable of inhibiting β-lactamase activity. Inhibiting β-lactamase activity means inhibiting the activity of a class A, B, C, or D β-lactamase. For antimicrobial applications inhibition at a 50% inhibitory concentration is preferably achieved at or below about 100 micrograms/mL, or at or below about 50 micrograms/mL, or at or below about 25 micrograms/mL. The terms “class A”, “class B”, “class C”, and “class D” β-lactamases are understood by those skilled in the art and are described in Bush, K. and G. A. Jacoby. 2010. An updated functional classification of β-lactamases. Antimicrob. Agents Chemother. 54:969-976.

Unless stated specifically in the specification, a substituted group may include one or more substituents selected from: oxo, amino, —CO₂H, nitrile, nitro, hydroxyl, thiooxy, alkyl, alkylene, alkoxy, aryl, cycloalkyl, heterocyclyl, heteroaryl, dialkylamines, arylamines, alkylarylamines, diarylamines, trialkylammonium (—N+R₃), N-oxides, imides, and enamines; a silicon atom in groups such as trialkylsilyl groups, dialkylarylsilyl groups, alkyldiarylsilyl groups, triarylsilyl groups, perfluoroalkyl or perfluoroalkoxy, for example, trifluoromethyl or trifluoromethoxy. “Substituted” also means any of the above groups in which one or more hydrogen atoms are replaced by a higher-order bond (e.g., a double- or triple-bond) to a heteroatom such as oxygen in oxo, carbonyl, carboxyl, and ester groups; and nitrogen in groups such as imines, oximes, hydrazones, and nitriles. For example, “substituted” includes any of the above groups in which one or more hydrogen atoms are replaced with —NH₂, —NR_(g)C(═O)NR_(g)R_(h), —NR_(g)C(═O)OR_(h), —NR_(g)SO₂R_(h), —OC(═O)NR_(g)R_(h), —OR_(g), —SR_(g), —SOR_(g), —SO₂R_(g), —OSO₂R_(g), —SO₂OR_(g), ═NSO₂R_(g), and —SO₂NR_(g)R_(h). In the foregoing, R_(g) and R_(h) are the same or different and independently hydrogen, alkyl, alkoxy, alkylamino, thioalkyl, aryl, aralkyl, cycloalkyl, cycloalkylalkyl, haloalkyl, heterocyclyl, N-heterocyclyl, heterocyclylalkyl, heteroaryl, N-heteroaryl and/or heteroarylalkyl. In addition, each of the foregoing substituents may also be optionally substituted with one or more of the above substituents. Furthermore, any of the above groups may be substituted to include one or more internal oxygen, sulfur, or nitrogen atoms. For example, an alkyl group may be substituted with one or more internal oxygen atoms to form an ether or polyether group. Similarly, an alkyl group may be substituted with one or more internal sulfur atoms to form a thioether, disulfide, etc.

The term “optional” or “optionally” means that the subsequently described event or circumstance may or may not occur, and that the description includes instances where said event or circumstance occurs and instances in which it does not. For example, “optionally substituted alkyl” means either “alkyl” or “substituted alkyl” as defined above. Further, an optionally substituted group may be un-substituted (e.g., —CH₂CH₃), fully substituted (e.g., —CF₂CF₃), mono-substituted (e.g., —CH₂CH₂F) or substituted at a level anywhere in-between fully substituted and mono-substituted (e.g., —CH₂CHF₂, —CH₂CF₃, —CF₂CH₃, —CFHCHF₂, etc). It will be understood by those skilled in the art with respect to any group containing one or more substituents that such groups are not intended to introduce any substitution or substitution patterns (e.g., substituted alkyl includes optionally substituted cycloalkyl groups, which in turn are defined as including optionally substituted alkyl groups, potentially ad infinitum) that are sterically impractical and/or synthetically non-feasible. Thus, any substituents described should generally be understood as having a maximum molecular weight of about 1,000 daltons, and more typically, up to about 500 daltons.

An “effective amount” or “therapeutically effective amount” refers to an amount of a compound administered to a mammalian subject, either as a single dose or as part of a series of doses, which is effective to produce a desired therapeutic effect.

“Treatment” of an individual (e.g. a mammal, such as a human) or a cell is any type of intervention used in an attempt to alter the natural course of the individual or cell. In some embodiments, treatment includes administration of a pharmaceutical composition, subsequent to the initiation of a pathologic event or contact with an etiologic agent and includes stabilization of the condition (e.g., condition does not worsen) or alleviation of the condition. In other embodiments, treatment also includes prophylactic treatment (e.g., administration of a composition described herein when an individual is suspected to be suffering from a bacterial infection).

A “tautomer” refers to a proton shift from one atom of a molecule to another atom of the same molecule. The compounds presented herein may exist as tautomers. Tautomers are compounds that are interconvertible by migration of a hydrogen atom, accompanied by a switch of a single bond and adjacent double bond. In bonding arrangements where tautomerization is possible, a chemical equilibrium of the tautomers will exist. All tautomeric forms of the compounds disclosed herein are contemplated. The exact ratio of the tautomers depends on several factors, including temperature, solvent, and pH. Some examples of tautomeric interconversions include:

A “metabolite” of a compound disclosed herein is a derivative of that compound that is formed when the compound is metabolized. The term “active metabolite” refers to a biologically active derivative of a compound that is formed when the compound is metabolized. The term “metabolized,” as used herein, refers to the sum of the processes (including, but not limited to, hydrolysis reactions and reactions catalyzed by enzymes, such as, oxidation reactions) by which a particular substance is changed by an organism. Thus, enzymes may produce specific structural alterations to a compound. For example, cytochrome P450 catalyzes a variety of oxidative and reductive reactions while uridine diphosphate glucuronyl transferases catalyze the transfer of an activated glucuronic-acid molecule to aromatic alcohols, aliphatic alcohols, carboxylic acids, amines and free sulfhydryl groups. Further information on metabolism may be obtained from The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics, 9th Edition, McGraw-Hill (1996). Metabolites of the compounds disclosed herein can be identified either by administration of compounds to a host and analysis of tissue samples from the host, or by incubation of compounds with hepatic cells in vitro and analysis of the resulting compounds. Both methods are well known in the art. In some embodiments, metabolites of a compound are formed by oxidative processes and correspond to the corresponding hydroxy-containing compound. In some embodiments, a compound is metabolized to pharmacologically active metabolites.

Further Forms of Compounds Disclosed Herein

Isomers

In some embodiments, due to the oxophilic nature of the boron atom, the compounds described herein may convert to or exist in equilibrium with alternate forms, particularly in milieu that contain water (aqueous solution, plasma, etc.). Accordingly, the compounds described herein may exist in an equilibrium between the “closed” cyclic form shown in Formula I and the “open” acyclic form shown in Figure Ia. In addition, the compounds described herein may associate into intramolecular dimers, trimers, and related combinations.

Furthermore, in some embodiments, the compounds described herein exist as geometric isomers. In some embodiments, the compounds described herein possess one or more double bonds. The compounds presented herein include all cis, trans, syn, anti, entgegen (E), and zusammen (Z) isomers as well as the corresponding mixtures thereof. In some situations, compounds exist as tautomers. The compounds described herein include all possible tautomers within the formulas described herein. In some situations, the compounds described herein possess one or more chiral centers and each center exists in the R configuration, or S configuration. The compounds described herein include all diastereomeric, enantiomeric, and epimeric forms as well as the corresponding mixtures thereof. In additional embodiments of the compounds and methods provided herein, mixtures of enantiomers and/or diastereoisomers, resulting from a single preparative step, combination, or interconversion are useful for the applications described herein. In some embodiments, the compounds described herein are prepared as their individual stereoisomers by reacting a racemic mixture of the compound with an optically active resolving agent to form a pair of diastereoisomeric compounds, separating the diastereomers and recovering the optically pure enantiomers. In some embodiments, dissociable complexes are preferred (e.g., crystalline diastereomeric salts). In some embodiments, the diastereomers have distinct physical properties (e.g., melting points, boiling points, solubilities, reactivity, etc.) and are separated by taking advantage of these dissimilarities. In some embodiments, the diastereomers are separated by chiral chromatography, or preferably, by separation/resolution techniques based upon differences in solubility. In some embodiments, the optically pure enantiomer is then recovered, along with the resolving agent, by any practical means that would not result in racemization.

Labeled Compounds

In some embodiments, the compounds described herein exist in their isotopically-labeled forms. In some embodiments, the methods disclosed herein include methods of treating diseases by administering such isotopically-labeled compounds. In some embodiments, the methods disclosed herein include methods of treating diseases by administering such isotopically-labeled compounds as pharmaceutical compositions. Thus, in some embodiments, the compounds disclosed herein include isotopically-labeled compounds, which are identical to those recited herein, but for the fact that one or more atoms are replaced by an atom having an atomic mass or mass number different from the atomic mass or mass number usually found in nature. Examples of isotopes that can be incorporated into compounds of the invention include isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorous, sulfur, fluorine and chloride, such as ²H, ³H, ¹³C, ¹⁴C, ¹⁵N, ¹⁸O, ¹⁷O, ³¹P, ³²P, ³⁵S, ¹⁸F, and ³⁶Cl, respectively. Compounds described herein, and the metabolites, pharmaceutically acceptable salts, esters, prodrugs, solvate, hydrates or derivatives thereof which contain the aforementioned isotopes and/or other isotopes of other atoms are within the scope of this invention. Certain isotopically-labeled compounds, for example those into which radioactive isotopes such as ³H and ¹⁴C are incorporated, are useful in drug and/or substrate tissue distribution assays. Tritiated, i. e., ³H and carbon-14, i. e., ¹⁴C, isotopes are particularly preferred for their ease of preparation and detectability. Further, substitution with heavy isotopes such as deuterium, i.e., ²H, produces certain therapeutic advantages resulting from greater metabolic stability, for example increased in vivo half-life or reduced dosage requirements. In some embodiments, the isotopically labeled compounds, pharmaceutically acceptable salt, ester, prodrug, solvate, hydrate or derivative thereof is prepared by any suitable method.

In some embodiments, the compounds described herein are labeled by other means, including, but not limited to, the use of chromophores or fluorescent moieties, bioluminescent labels, or chemiluminescent labels.

It should be understood that the compounds described herein also include the quaternization of any basic nitrogen-containing groups they contain. It should be understood that the compounds described herein also include the quaternization of any boron-containing groups they contain. Such a quarternization could result from the treatment of the Lewis acidic boron with a Lewis base to form a complex or salt. In some embodiments, water or oil-soluble or dispersible products are obtained by such quaternization.

Solvates

In some embodiments, the compounds described herein exist as solvates. The invention provides for methods of treating diseases by administering such solvates. The invention further provides for methods of treating diseases by administering such solvates as pharmaceutical compositions.

Solvates contain either stoichiometric or non-stoichiometric amounts of a solvent, and, in some embodiments, are formed during the process of crystallization with pharmaceutically acceptable solvents such as water, ethanol, and the like. Hydrates are formed when the solvent is water, or alcoholates are formed when the solvent is alcohol. Solvates of the compounds described herein can be conveniently prepared or formed during the processes described herein. By way of example only, hydrates of the compounds described herein can be conveniently prepared by recrystallization from an aqueous/organic solvent mixture, using organic solvents including, but not limited to, dioxane, tetrahydrofuran or methanol. In addition, the compounds provided herein can exist in unsolvated as well as solvated forms. In general, the solvated forms are considered equivalent to the unsolvated forms for the purposes of the compounds and methods provided herein.

Polymorphs

In some embodiments, the compounds described herein exist as polymorphs. The invention provides for methods of treating diseases by administering such polymorphs. The invention further provides for methods of treating diseases by administering such polymorphs as pharmaceutical compositions.

Thus, the compounds described herein include all their crystalline forms, known as polymorphs. Polymorphs include the different crystal packing arrangements of the same elemental composition of a compound. In certain instances, polymorphs have different X-ray diffraction patterns, infrared spectra, melting points, density, hardness, crystal shape, optical and electrical properties, stability, and solubility. In certain instances, various factors such as the recrystallization solvent, rate of crystallization, and storage temperature cause a single crystal form to dominate.

Prodrugs

In some embodiments, the compounds described herein exist in prodrug form. The invention provides for methods of treating diseases by administering such prodrugs. The invention further provides for methods of treating diseases by administering such prodrugs as pharmaceutical compositions.

Prodrugs are generally drug precursors that, following administration to an individual and subsequent absorption, are converted to an active, or a more active species via some process, such as conversion by a metabolic pathway. Some prodrugs have a chemical group present on the prodrug that renders it less active and/or confers solubility or some other property to the drug. Once the chemical group has been cleaved and/or modified from the prodrug the active drug is generated. Prodrugs are often useful because, in some situations, they are easier to administer than the parent drug. They are, for instance, bioavailable by oral administration whereas the parent is not. In certain instances, the prodrug also has improved solubility in pharmaceutical compositions over the parent drug. An example, without limitation, of a prodrug would be a compound as described herein which is administered as an ester (the “prodrug”) to facilitate transmittal across a cell membrane where water solubility is detrimental to mobility but which then is metabolically hydrolyzed to the carboxylic acid, the active entity, once inside the cell where water-solubility is beneficial. A further example of a prodrug might be a short peptide (polyamino acid) bonded to an acid group where the peptide is metabolized to reveal the active moiety. (See for example Bundgaard, “Design and Application of Prodrugs” in A Textbook of Drug Design and Development, Krosgaard-Larsen and Bundgaard, Ed., 1991, Chapter 5, 113-191, which is incorporated herein by reference).

In some embodiments, prodrugs are designed as reversible drug derivatives, for use as modifiers to enhance drug transport to site-specific tissues. The design of prodrugs to date has been to increase the effective water solubility of the therapeutic compound for targeting to regions where water is the principal solvent.

Additionally, prodrug derivatives of compounds described herein can be prepared by methods described herein are otherwise known in the art (for further details see Saulnier et al., Bioorganic and Medicinal Chemistry Letters, 1994, 4, 1985). By way of example only, appropriate prodrugs can be prepared by reacting a non-derivatized compound with a suitable carbamylating agent, such as, but not limited to, 1,1-acyloxyalkylcarbanochloridate, para-nitrophenyl carbonate, or the like. Prodrug forms of the herein described compounds, wherein the prodrug is metabolized in vivo to produce a derivative as set forth herein are included within the scope of the claims. Indeed, some of the herein-described compounds are prodrugs for another derivative or active compound.

In some embodiments, prodrugs include compounds wherein an amino acid residue, or a polypeptide chain of two or more (e. g., two, three or four) amino acid residues is covalently joined through an amide or ester bond to a free amino, hydroxy or carboxylic acid group of compounds of the present invention. The amino acid residues include but are not limited to the 20 naturally occurring amino acids and also includes 4-hydroxyproline, hydroxylysine, demosine, isodemosine, 3-methylhistidine, norvaline, beta-alanine, gamma-aminobutyric acid, cirtulline, homocysteine, homoserine, ornithine and methionine sulfone. In other embodiments, prodrugs include compounds wherein a nucleic acid residue, or an oligonucleotide of two or more (e. g., two, three or four) nucleic acid residues is covalently joined to a compound of the present invention.

Pharmaceutically acceptable prodrugs of the compounds described herein also include, but are not limited to, esters, carbonates, thiocarbonates, N-acyl derivatives, N-acyloxyalkyl derivatives, quaternary derivatives of tertiary amines, N-Mannich bases, Schiff bases, amino acid conjugates, phosphate esters, metal salts and sulfonate esters. Compounds having free amino, amido, hydroxy or carboxylic groups can be converted into prodrugs. For instance, free carboxyl groups can be derivatized as amides or alkyl esters. In certain instances, all of these prodrug moieties incorporate groups including but not limited to ether, amine and carboxylic acid functionalities.

Hydroxy prodrugs include esters, such as though not limited to, acyloxyalkyl (e.g. acyloxymethyl, acyloxyethyl) esters, alkoxycarbonyloxyalkyl esters, alkyl esters, aryl esters, phosphate esters, sulfonate esters, sulfate esters and disulfide containing esters; ethers, amides, carbamates, hemisuccinates, dimethylaminoacetates and phosphoryloxymethyloxycarbonyls, as outlined in Advanced Drug Delivery Reviews 1996, 19, 115.

Amine derived prodrugs include, but are not limited to the following groups and combinations of groups:

as well as sulfonamides and phosphonamides.

In certain instances, sites on any aromatic ring portions are susceptible to various metabolic reactions, therefore incorporation of appropriate substituents on the aromatic ring structures, can reduce, minimize or eliminate this metabolic pathway.

Metabolites

In some embodiments, compounds of Formula I or Formula Ia are susceptible to various metabolic reactions. Therefore, in some embodiments, incorporation of appropriate substituents into the structure will reduce, minimize, or eliminate a metabolic pathway. In specific embodiments, the appropriate substituent to decrease or eliminate the susceptibility of an aromatic ring to metabolic reactions is, by way of example only, a halogen, or an alkyl group.

In additional or further embodiments, the compounds of Formula I or Formula Ia described herein are metabolized upon administration to an organism in need to produce a metabolite that is then used to produce a desired effect, including a desired therapeutic effect.

Combination Treatment

The compounds according to Formula I or Formula Ia may be used in combination with one or more antibiotics in the treatment of bacterial infections. Such antibiotics may be administered, by a route and in an amount commonly used therefore, contemporaneously or sequentially with a compound of Formula I or Ia. When a compound of Formula I or Ia is used contemporaneously with one or more antibiotic, a pharmaceutical composition in unit dosage form containing such other drugs and the compound of the present invention is preferred. However, the combination therapy may also include therapies in which the compound of Formula I or Ia and one or more antibiotics are administered on different overlapping schedules. It is also contemplated that when used in combination with one or more antibiotics, the antibiotics may be used in lower doses than when each is used singly.

Accordingly, the pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention also include those that contain one or more antibiotics, in addition to a compound according to Formula I or Formula Ia. In some embodiments, a pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound of Formula I or Ia further comprises a beta-lactam antibiotic. In certain embodiments, the beta-lactam antibiotic is a penicillin, cephalosporin, carbapenem, monobactam, bridged monobactam, or a combination thereof.

The above combinations include combinations of a compound of Formula I or Ia not only with one antibiotic, but also with two or more antibiotics. Likewise, compounds of Formula I or Ia, either in combination with an antibiotic or by themselves, may be used in combination with other drugs that are used in the prevention, treatment, control, amelioration, or reduction of risk of bacterial infections or conditions associated with bacterial infections. Such other drugs may be administered, by a route and in an amount commonly used therefore, contemporaneously or sequentially with a compound of Formula I or Ia. When a compound of Formula I or Ia is used contemporaneously with one or more other drugs, a pharmaceutical composition containing such other drugs in addition to the compound of the present invention is preferred. Accordingly, the pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention also include those that also contain one or more other active ingredients, in addition to a compound of Formula I or Ia. The weight ratio of the compound of Formula I or Ia to the second active ingredient may be varied and will depend upon the effective dose of each ingredient. Generally, an effective dose of each will be used.

In some embodiments, the compounds according to Formula I or Formula Ia are used in combination with one or more antibiotics in the treatment of bacterial infections. In certain embodiments, the bacterial infection is an upper or lower respiratory tract infection, a urinary tract infection, an intra-abdominal infection, or a skin infection. In some embodiments, the one or more antibiotics are selected from β-lactam antibiotics. β-Lactam antibiotics include, but are not limited to, penicillins, penems, carbapenems, cephalosporins, cephamycins, monobactams, or combinations thereof.

Administration of Pharmaceutical Composition

Suitable routes of administration include, but are not limited to, oral, intravenous, rectal, aerosol, parenteral, ophthalmic, pulmonary, transmucosal, transdermal, vaginal, otic, nasal, and topical administration. In addition, by way of example only, parenteral delivery includes intramuscular, subcutaneous, intravenous, intramedullary injections, as well as intrathecal, direct intraventricular, intraperitoneal, intralymphatic, and intranasal injections.

In some embodiments, compounds of Formula I or Formula Ia and compositions thereof are administered in any suitable manner. The manner of administration can be chosen based on, for example, whether local or systemic treatment is desired, and on the area to be treated. For example, the compositions can be administered orally, parenterally (e.g., intravenous, subcutaneous, intraperitoneal, or intramuscular injection), by inhalation, extracorporeally, topically (including transdermally, ophthalmically, vaginally, rectally, intranasally) or the like.

Parenteral administration of the composition, if used, is generally characterized by injection. Injectables can be prepared in conventional forms, either as liquid solutions or suspensions, solid forms suitable for solution of suspension in liquid prior to injection, or as emulsions. A more recently revised approach for parenteral administration involves use of a slow release or sustained release system such that a constant dosage is maintained.

Assays for Antibacterial Activity

Assays for the inhibition of beta-lactamase activity are well known in the art. For instance, the ability of a compound to inhibit beta-lactamase activity in a standard enzyme inhibition assay may be used (see, e.g., Page, Biochem J, 295:295-304 (1993)). Beta-lactamases for use in such assays may be purified from bacterial sources or preferably, are produced by recombinant DNA techniques, since genes and cDNA clones coding for many beta-lactamases are known (see, e g, Cartwright & Waley, Biochem J 221:505-12 (1984)).

Alternatively, the sensitivity of bacteria known, or engineered, to produce a beta-lactamase to an inhibitor may be determined. Other bacterial inhibition assays include agar disk diffusion and agar dilution (see, e.g, Traub & Leonhard, Chemotherapy 43 159-67 (1997)). Thus, a beta-lactamase may be inhibited by contacting the beta-lactamase enzyme with an effective amount of an inventive compound or by contacting bacteria that produce the beta-lactamase enzymes with an effective amount of such a compound so that the beta-lactamase in the bacteria is contacted with the inhibitor. The contacting may take place in vitro or in vivo. “Contacting” means that the beta-lactamase and the inhibitor are brought together so that the inhibitor can bind to the beta-lactamase. Amounts of a compound effective to inhibit a beta-lactamase may be determined empirically, and making such determinations is within the skill in the art. Inhibition includes both reduction and elimination of beta-lactamase activity.

Methods

The present disclosure also provides methods for inhibiting bacterial growth, by, e.g., reducing bacterial resistance to a β-lactam antibiotic, such methods comprising contacting a bacterial cell culture, or a bacterially infected cell culture, tissue, or organism, with a beta-lactamase inhibitor described herein. Preferably, the bacteria to be inhibited by administration of a beta-lactamase inhibitor of Formula I or Ia are bacteria that are resistant to beta-lactam antibiotics. The term “resistant” is well-understood by those of ordinary skill in the art (see, e g Payne et al., Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy 38 767-772 (1994), Hanaki et al., Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy 30 1120-1126 (1995)).

These methods are useful for inhibiting bacterial growth in a variety of contexts. In certain embodiments, a compound of Formula I or Ia is administered to an experimental cell culture in vitro to prevent the growth of beta-lactam resistant bacteria. In certain other embodiments, a compound of Formula I or Ia is administered to a mammal, including a human to prevent the growth of beta-lactam resistant bacteria in vivo. The method according to this embodiment comprises administering a therapeutically effective amount of a beta-lactamase inhibitor for a therapeutically effective period of time to a mammal, including a human. Preferably, the beta-lactamase inhibitor is administered in the form of a pharmaceutical composition as described above. In some embodiments, a beta-lactam antibiotic is co-administered with the beta-lactamase inhibitor as described above.

General Examples for the Preparation of Compounds of the Invention

The starting materials and intermediates for the compounds of this invention may be prepared by the application or adaptation of the methods described below, their obvious chemical equivalents, or, for example, as described in literature such as The Science of Synthesis, Volumes 1-8. Editors E. M. Carreira et al. Thieme publishers (2001-2008). Details of reagent and reaction options are also available by structure and reaction searches using commercial computer search engines such as Scifinder (www.cas.org) or Reaxys (www.reaxys.com).

Certain compounds of the invention (I) (SCHEME 1) are prepared from the corresponding functional-group-protected boronic acid esters (II) by treatment with a Lewis acid such as BCl₃, in a solvent such as dichloromethane, at a temperature between −78° C. and 0° C. followed by an aqueous quench.

Alternatively, (I) is obtained from (II) by treatment of (II) with aqueous hydrochloric acid (around 3-5 Molar) in dioxane at a temperature between room temperature and 100° C.

The requisite boronic acid esters (II) are obtained (SCHEME 2) by coupling of amine (III) with (carboxylic or sulphonic) acid (IV). This transformation is effected by first activating the acid functionality as an acid chloride, anhydride or reactive ester (Va, Vb or Vc), followed by treatment of the activated substrate with (III) in a solvent such as DMF, DMA, NMP, THF or dichloromethane (or a mixture thereof) at about room temperature, usually in the presence of a non-nucleophilic base such as 4-methyl-morpholine, triethylamine or diisopropylethylamine.

Formation of the acid chloride (Va) involves treatment of (IV) with a chlorinating agent such as thionyl chloride, phosphorous pentachloride or oxalyl chloride, in a solvent such as dichloromethane, in the presence of a catalyst such as DMF, at around room temperature. In certain cases, DMF is also used as a co-solvent. Formation of the anhydride (Vb) (Z is C═O) involves treatment of (IV) with a sterically hindered acid chloride or chloroformate, such as trimethylacetyl chloride or isopropylchloroformate, in an inert solvent such as dichloromethane, in the presence of a non-nucleophilic base, such as triethylamine or diisopropylamine at room temperature or below. Formation of the activated ester (Vc) involves treatment of (IV) with an activating reagent system such as EDCI, DCC/HOBt, HATU, BOP reagents or TBTU, in a solvent such as DMF, DMA, NMP or dichloromethane at room temperature or below (International Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences Review and Research (2011), 8(1), 108-119).

In certain instances (SCHEME 3), (II) is prepared from the α-bromo or chloro-acyl amino intermediate (VI) by treatment with a suitable heterocyclylamine (VII) in a solvent such as THF in the presence of a base such as potassium carbonate.

Intermediate (VI) is prepared from (III) by treatment with bromoacetyl bromide or chloroacetyl chloride in a solvent such as THF at a temperature between −20° C. and room temperature.

The requisite acids (IV) and amines (VII) are prepared by a number of different reaction sequences. While there are common themes and strategies among the illustrative examples cited below, the selection of an appropriate reaction sequence (including protecting group requirements) is dictated by the nature and arrangement of the functionality present in the target molecule and, therefore, may involve obvious adaptations of the illustrated methods in order to be applied in a particular case.

In the case where HetA is connected to (CR¹R²)_(m) via a ring nitrogen atom and Y₁ is connected to HetA through an amino functionality, the requisite acids (IV) and amines (VII) are conveniently prepared from an appropriately substituted-heterocyclic ketone (VIII) (SCHEME 4). For example, treatment of (VIII) with a suitable amine (IX) in the presence of a reducing agent such as sodium tri-acetoxyborohydride, sodium cyanoborohydride or sodium borohydride in a solvent such as dichloromethane, 1,2-dichloro-ethane, THF, methanol, acetic acid or a mixture thereof, at a temperature around room temperature gives the carbamate protected heterocycle (X). In the case where the use of a primary amine (IX, R⁵═H) is called for, (X) can also be prepared by treatment of an equimolar mixture of (VIII) and (IX, R⁵═H) with a Lewis acid/dessicant, such as Ti(OEt)₄, in a solvent such as dichloromethane or 1,2-dichloroethane, at room temperature or above to provide the intermediate imine. This is followed by reduction of the imine with sodium borohydride, in a solvent such as methanol, at a temperature between −78° C. and room temperature

Acid (IV) is obtained from heterocycle (X) by formal hydrolysis of the carbamate functionality followed by derivitization of the resulting amine (VII) (SCHEME 5). The reaction conditions employed to cleave the carbamate depend on the type of carbamate used. In the case of a t-butyl carbamate, cleavage is effected by treatment with an acid such as trifluoroacetic acid in dichloromethane at around room temperature or with HCl in a solvent such as ethyl acetate, ether or 1,4 dioxane. In the case of a benzyl carbamate, cleavage is achieved by hydrogenolysis at around atmospheric pressure, using a catalyst such as palladium on carbon in a solvent such as ethyl acetate, methanol, THF or a combination thereof. Other carbamate protecting groups can also be used, such as allyl, 2-trimethylsilyl-ethyl or 2,2,2-trichloroethyl. In these cases, conversion of the carbamate to the corresponding amine is achieved using the standard deprotection procedures in the literature (Greene's Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis. Fourth Edition. John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 2006). It should be understood that the amine functionality in Y₁ may also be protected as a carbamate during this sequence (i.e. R⁵═CO₂R′) and that this protecting group should be selected to be orthogonal to the carbamate protecting the HetA amine functionality.

For an example of the preparation of (IV) from (VII) consider the case of (IV) where m=1, M=a bond, n=0. Treatment of (Xa) (R=benzyl) with hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst such as palladium on carbon in a solvent such as methanol provides the heterocyclic amine (VII). Condensation of (VII) with an appropriate α-halo-acetic acid ester in a solvent such as acetonitrile, DMF, DMA or ethanol, in the presence of a non nucleophilic base such as diisopropylethylamine, triethylamine or potassium carbonate furnishes the ester (XI). Ester hydrolysis by brief treatment with an aqueous base such as sodium hydroxide or lithium hydroxide in a solvent such as ethanol or THF/methanol provides the acid (IV).

For the case of (IV) where m=2, M=a bond, n=0, treatment of (VII) with an appropriate α,β-unsaturated ester (XII) in the presence of a catalyst such as potassium carbonate, cesium fluoride (Monatshefte fuer Chemie, (2011), 142(10), 1055-1059) cerium ammonium nitrate (Synlett, (2006), 10, 1549-1553) copper acetate (Synlett, (2003), 15, 2425-2427) in a solvent such as DMA or ethanol or water yields (XIII). Hydrolysis of the ester group in (XIII), as described above, provides the acid (IV).

In an alternative approach to systems wherein HetA is connected to (CR¹R²)_(m) via a ring nitrogen atom and Y₁ is connected to HetA through an amino functionality, the requisite acids (IV) and amines (VII) are prepared (SCHEME 6) by treatment of ketone (VIII) with a reducing agent, such as sodium borohydride in methanol at around 0° C. or L-selectride in THF, at a temperature between −78° C. and room temperature to give alcohol (XIV). Treatment of the alcohol (XIV) with methanesulfonyl chloride or p-toluene-sulfonyl chloride, in the presence of a non nucleophilic base, such as triethylamine or DIEA, in a solvent such as dichloromethane or pyridine, at around 0° C. provides the corresponding sulfonate ester (XV). Displacement of the sulfonate group with azide by treatment of (XV) with sodium azide or a tetra-alkylammonium azide in a solvent such as DMA, DMF, NMP, acetonitrile or DMSO, at a temperature between room temperature and 120° C., yields the azide (XVI). Reduction of the azide with triphenylphosphine and water in THF at around room temperature (Staudinger reaction) yields the primary amine (XVII). Further derivatization of (XVII), where appropriate, can be accomplished by reductive amination with an appropriate aldehyde or ketone, using conditions already described to give (XX).

Alternatively, formation of the N-BOC derivative of (XVII) by treatment with Boc₂O, in the presence of a non nucleophilic base such as triethylamine or DIEA, in a solvent such as dichloromethane, at around room temperature gives carbamate (XVIII). Treatment of (XVIII) with an alkyl halide or sulphonate in the presence of a base, such as sodium hydride, potassium carbonate or tetramethylguanidine, in a solvent such as DMF, DMA, NMP, THF, DMPU or ethanol (or a mixture thereof), at room temperature or below, provides (XIX). Cleavage of the BOC group with an acid, such as TFA in dichloromethane or HCl in dioxane, ethyl acetate or ether, at around room temperature, provides the secondary amine (XX). Further derivatization of (XX), where appropriate, can be accomplished by reductive amination with an appropriate aldehyde or ketone, using conditions already described, to give (XXI). Carbamate cleavage in (XXI) provides (VII) and derivitization of the heterocyclic ring nitrogen as already described, yields (IV).

In the case where Y₁ is a guanidine, the guanidino group is derived from the appropriate heterocyclic primary (XVII) or secondary (XX) amine (SCHEME 7) by treatment with a reagent such as 1,3-Di-tert-butyloxycarbonyl-S-methylisothiourea, in a solvent such as DMF, (Synthesis, (2004), 37-42) or pyridine at room temperature or above, or by treatment with N,N′Bis-(BOC)-1H-pyrazole-1-carboxamidine in the presence of a base such as diisopropylethylamine, in a solvent such as DMF or DMA at around room temperature to give (XXII). Selective cleavage of the heterocyclic ring carbamate and derivitization of the resulting heterocyclic amine (VII), as already described, provides the corresponding acid (IV).

Alternatively, the guanidinyl group can be introduced by treatment of an appropriate heterocyclic alcohol (XIV) (SCHEME 8) with a reagent such as BOC-guanidine, in the presence of triphenylphosphine and diethyl-azo-dicarboxylate, in a solvent such as THF (Mitsunobu conditions: Chemical Reviews, (2009), 109, 2551-2651) to give (XXIII) directly. Benzyl carbamate cleavage provides (VII) which is processed to yield (IV) as already described.

In the case where Y₁ is an amidine linked to HetA through nitrogen, the requisite acids (SCHEME 9) are prepared from the appropriate primary (XVII) or secondary amine (XX) by treatment with a suitable alkyl thioimidate, such as the 2-napthylmethylthioimidate derivative (XXIV), in a solvent such as ethanol at a temperature between 0° C. and room temperature (Tetrahedron Letters, (1997), 38(2), 179-182) to give (XXV). Protection of the amidine (XXV) as an orthogonal carbamate derivative such as BOC is effected under standard conditions (BOC anhydride/triethylamine in methanol) to give (XXVI). Selective cleavage of the heterocyclic ring carbamate functionality and derivitization of the heterocyclic amine (VII), as already described, provides the corresponding acid (IV).

In the case where Y₁ is an amidine linked to HetA through carbon (SCHEME 10), the amidine functionality is introduced by conversion of an appropriate heterocyclic ketone (VIII) to the corresponding exocyclic nitrile (XXVII) by treatment with toluenesulfonyl-methylisocyanide (Journal of Organic Chemistry (1977), 42(19), 3114-18) in the presence of a base such as KOBu^(t) in a solvent such as DMSO or DME containing about 2% of t-butanol or ethanol at a temperature between 0° C. and 50° C. Treatment of (XXVII) with HCl in methanol to form the corresponding imidate ester (XXVIII) is followed by reaction of this intermediate with an appropriate amine (XXIX) in a solvent such as methanol or THF at around room temperature to give the amidine (XXX). Protection of the amidine functionality as a BOC derivative (XXXI) is accomplished by treatment of (XXX) with BOC anhydride in the presence of a base such as triethylamine in a solvent such as methanol at a temperature between room temperature and 60° C. Removal of the Cbz group, as previously described, furnishes the heterocyclic amine (VII). (VII) is processed to the corresponding acid (IV) as already described.

In certain cases, it is convenient to effect direct amidine formation from the nitrile (XXVII) (SCHEME 10) using a suitable methyl-chloroaluminum amide (XXXII), in a solvent such as toluene at around 80° C. (Tetrahedron Letters, (1990), 31(14), 1969-1972).

In the case where R⁵═H (SCHEME 11), the amidine functionality can also be introduced by treatment of the appropriate carbocyclic nitrile (XXXIII) with hydroxylamine or an O-alkyl-hydroxylamine to give the N-hydroxyl-(or alkoxy)-amidine (XXXIV). This is followed by N—O bond cleavage by catalytic hydrogenolysis to provide the amidine (XXXV). Benzyl carbamate derivitization of the amidine functionality in (XXXV) by treatment with Cbz chloride in the presence of a base such as DIEA in a solvent such as dichloromethane or by treatment with Cbz chloride in a solvent such as aqueous THF or aqueous 1,4-dioxane in the presence of a base such as sodium hydroxide provides (XXXVI). Cleavage of the heterocyclic ring carbamate yields (VII) which is further processed to provide acid (IV) as previously described.

In the case where Y₁ is a nitrogen substituted methylene group, the requisite amines (VII) and acids (IV) (SCHEME 12) are prepared from the appropriate heterocyclic-ketones (VIII) by conversion of the ketone functionality into, first, the corresponding hydroxyl-methyl derivative by treatment with an olefination reagent such as methyltriphenylphosphonium bromide in the presence of sodium hexamethyldisilazide, in a solvent such as THF at around 0° C. (Wittig reaction) or by treatment with lithium trimethylsilylmethane/CeCl₃ at around 0° C. to room temperature, in a solvent such as THF or ether (Peterson reaction) (Journal of Organic Chemistry, (1987) 52(2), 281-3) or by reaction with the Petasis modified Tebbe reagent (dicyclopentadienyl-dimethyltitanium) in THF/toluene at around 60° C. (Journal of the American Chemical Society, (1990), 112 (17) 6392-6394) to give (XXXVII). This is followed by hydroboration of the exocyclic alkene in (XXXVII) with a reagent such as borane THF or an alkyl derivative, at around 0° C., in a solvent such as THF, followed by oxidative workup with hydrogen peroxide/NaOH (aq.) to provide (XXXVIII). Conversion of the hydroxymethyl (XXXVIII) into the functionalized amino-methyl derivative (XL) can be accomplished by conversion to the corresponding tosylate, azide and primary amine as described above. Alternatively, oxidation of (XXXVIII) to the aldehyde (XXXIX) followed by reductive amination of (XXXIX) with an amine (R⁴R⁵NH), as already described, also provides amine (XL). Conversion of (XL) to the requisite amine (VII) and or acid (IV) is accomplished by side chain modification as previously described.

Alternatively, aminomethylene-substituted heterocycles are also prepared from the appropriate heterocyclic nitriles (XXXIII) (SCHEME 13) by treatment with a reagent such as nickel chloride hexahydrate with sodium borohydride in a solvent such as methanol (J. Am. Chem. Soc., (2006) 128, 15996-15997) to give the primary amine (XLI). Derivitization of the primary amine as previously outlined provides (XL) which is, in turn, processed to give (VII) and (IV) as described above.

In the case where Y₁ is an optionally substituted amino-ethyl group, the requisite amine (VII) and acids (IV) are prepared from the corresponding heterocyclic ketone (VIIIb) (SCHEME 14) by treatment with an appropriate trialkyl-phosphonoacetate, such as triethylphosphonoacetate, in a solvent such as THF, in the presence of a base such as sodium hydride, at a temperature between about −5° C. and room temperature to give the corresponding α,β-unsaturated ester (XLII) (Liebigs Annalen/Recueil, (1997), 7, 1283-1301). Reduction of the enone double bond is achieved by treatment of (XLII) with a heterogeneous Pd, Rh or Pt catalyst, such as 10% Pd on carbon, under an atmosphere of hydrogen gas (1-4 atm), in a solvent such as ethyl acetate, methanol or THF (or a mixture thereof) at room temperature to 70 OC to give the saturated ester (XLIII). Alternatively, in certain cases, unsaturated-ester (XLII) may be reduced by treatment with excess magnesium, in a solvent such as methanol, at around room temperature (Tetrahedron Letters, (1986); 27(21), 2409-2410) to provide (XLIII). The ester functionality in (XLIII) is hydrolyzed to give the corresponding acid (XLIV) by brief treatment with a base such as sodium hydroxide or lithium hydroxide, in a solvent such as THF/methanol/water at around room temperature. Selective reduction of the acid functionality in (XLIV) by treatment with borane in a solvent such as THF at a temperature between 0° C. and room temperature provides primary alcohol (XLV). Alcohol (XLV) is processed to the optionally substituted amine (XLVIII) via the corresponding tosylate, azide and primary amine (XLVI) or by oxidation to the corresponding aldehyde (XLVII) and reductive amination using the reagent systems already outlined. Deprotection of the heterocyclic amine in (XLVIII) yields (VII) which is converted to the corresponding acid (IV) as already described.

In the case where Y₁ and Y₂ are each linked to HetA through a nitrogen atom and Y₁ and Y₂ are positioned vicinally to each other on the heterocycle, the requisite amines (VII) and acids (IV) (SCHEME 15) are prepared from the appropriate heterocyclic olefins (XLIX). For example, treatment of (XLIX) with sodium azide, in the presence of a mild oxidant, such as Mn(OAc)₃(H₂O)₂ and an acid such as acetic acid or trifluoroacetic acid, in a solvent such as acetonitrile, at a temperature between −30° C. and 0° C. provides the diazide (L) in predominantly the trans isomer configuration (Synthetic Communications, 28(10), 1913-1922; 1998). Subsequent reduction of the bis-azide by treatment with a reducing agent, such as triphenylphosphine, in a solvent such as THF, followed by in situ hydrolysis of the intermediate aza-phosphorane by the addition of excess water yields the bis-amine (LI). This bis-primary-amine (LI) is protected as a BOC or other suitable N-protected derivative (Greene's Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis; 4th Edition: John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2006). For example, treatment of (LI) with an appropriate anhydride or chloroformate, in the presence of a base such as triethylamine, in a solvent such as THF or dichloromethane, at around room temperature provides the carbamate intermediate (LII). Where appropriate, the carbamate is further derivatized by treatment with a suitable alkylating agent, in the presence of a base, such as K₂CO₃, in a solvent such as DMF, DMA, or acetonitrile to give (LIII). Removal of the carbamate protecting group to give (LIV), followed by treatment of the resulting secondary amine with an aldehyde or ketone in the presence of a reducing agent such as sodium borohydride, sodium cyanoborohydride or sodium triacetoxyborohydride in a solvent such as dichloromethane, 1,2-dichloroethane, methanol or THF at around room temperature provides (LV). Processing of (LV), as already described, yields (VII) and (IV).

Alternatively, treatment of the appropriate heterocyclic olefin (XLIX) (SCHEME 16) with an oxidant such as meta-chloroperbenzoic acid in a solvent such as dichloromethane at around 0° C. provides the corresponding cyclic epoxide (LVI). Ring opening of the epoxide by treatment with sodium azide and ammonium chloride in a solvent such as ethanol, poly-ethylene-glycol, or DMF/water at a temperature between room temperature and 80° C., provides the trans hydroxyl azide (LVII). Reaction of (LVII) with methanesulfonyl chloride in pyridine at around 0° C. yields the mesylate (LVIII). Treatment of (LVIII) with tetrabutylammonium azide in a solvent such as toluene provides the cis-oriented bis azide (LIX). Processing of intermediate (LIX) is carried out as previously described to provide (LX), amine (VII) and acid (IV).

In the case where Y₁ is linked to HetA through a nitrogen atom:Y₂ is an optionally substituted aminomethyl and Y₁ and Y₂ are positioned vicinally to each other on the heterocycle, the requisite amines (VII) and acids (IV) (SCHEME 17) are prepared from the appropriate α-azido-alcohol (LVII) by processing the azide as previously described to give aminoalcohol (LXI). Treatment of (LXI) with methanesulfonyl chloride in pyridine at around 0° C. yields the mesylate (LXII). Displacement of the mesylate with cyanide by treatment of (LXII) with tetrabutylammonium cyanide in a solvent such as acetonitrile (Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett., (2009), 19, 1084-1088) yields (LXIII). Reduction of the nitrile in (LXIII) by treatment with sodium borohydride in the presence of a catalyst such as nickel chloride hexahydrate (J. Am. Chem. Soc., (2006), 128, 15996-15997) provides (LXIV). Derivitization of the primary amine in (LXIV) as previously outlined yields (LXV). This intermediate is, in turn, processed to provide (VII) and (IV) as previously described.

In the case where Y₁ is linked to HetA through a nitrogen atom:Y₂ is an optionally substituted aminoethyl and Y₁ and Y₂ are positioned vicinally to each other on the heterocycle, the requisite amines (VI) and acids (IV) (SCHEME 18) are prepared from the appropriate heterocyclic ketone (VIII) by reaction with a base such as LDA in a solvent such as THF, HMPA or THF/TBTU at a temperature between −78° C. and 0° C. to form the corresponding enolate in situ. This is followed by treatment of the enolate with an allylic bromide to give (LXVI). Derivitization of the heterocyclic ketone as previously outlined yields the heterocyclic amine (LXVII). Oxidation of the olefin by treatment with catalytic amounts of osmium tetroxide (Org. Synth. Oxid. Met. Compd. (1986), 633-93. Publisher: Plenum, N.Y.) in the presence of a co-oxidant such as N-methyl morpholine N-oxide, in a solvent such as tert-butanol/water to yield the corresponding di-hydroxy-derivative (LXVIII). This diol is then oxidatively cleaved using sodium periodate, in a solvent such as THF/water, at around room temperature, to give carbonyl compound (LXIX). This intermediate is processed as previously described to give amine (LXX). Removal of the heterocyclic nitrogen carbamate protecting group yields (VII) which is further derivitized to yield (IV) as previously described.

In the case where Y₁ is attached to HetA through a ring nitrogen, the requisite acids (IV) (SCHEME 19) are prepared from heterocyclic ketone (VIII) by elaboration of the ketone functionality to (CR¹R²)_(m)CO₂H and derivitization of the heterocyclic ring nitrogen as previously described for amine (NR⁴R⁵), amidinyl (R⁵C(═NR⁴)— or guanidinyl (R⁴R⁵NC(═NR⁴)—) above. For example, in the case where M=bond and m=1 (SCHEME 19), (IV) is prepared from (VIII) by treatment with triethylphosphonoacetate as described above to give enone (LXXI). Reduction of the double bond in (LXXI) with concommitant cleavage of the benzyl carbamate is accomplished by treatment with hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst such as palladium on carbon in a solvent such as methanol, ethanol, ethyl acetate or THF to provide the amine (LXXII). Processing of the amino functionality in (LXXII), as previously outlined, provides the ring amino substituted derivatives (LXXIII). Finally, (LXXIII) is converted to the requisite acid (IV) by brief treatment with aqueous base as previously described.

In the case where M=bond and m=0, the requisite acids (IV) (SCHEME 20) are prepared from aldehyde (XXXIX). Oxidation of (XXXIX) is accomplished by treatment with sodium chlorite/sodium dihydrogenphosphate in the presence of tetramethylethylene, in a solvent such as t-butanol/water at around room temperature (Journal of Organic Chemistry, (1980), 45, 4825). This is followed by esterification of the intermediate acid with methyl iodide in a solvent such as DMF in the presence of a base such as potassium carbonate to yield ester (LXXIII). Removal of the heterocyclic t-butyl carbonate protecting group under standard conditions yields secondary amine (LXXIV). Processing of (LXXIV) to the derivitized intermediates (LXXV) is accomplished as previously described. (LXXV) is converted to the requisite acid (IV) by ester hydrolysis under standard conditions.

In the case where M=bond and m=2, the requisite acids (IV) (SCHEME 21) are prepared from aldehyde (XXXIX) by treatment with a trialkylphosphonoacetate reagent as previously described to provide ester (LXXVI). Hydrogenation of the double bond of the enone using hydrogen in the presence of a palladium catalyst as previously described yields (LXXVII). Cleavage of the t-butyl carbamate then provides secondary amine (LXXVIII). Subsequent processing of (LXXVIII) via (LXXIX) to yield (IV) is accomplished as outlined above for m=1.

In the case where M=O, m=1, the requisite acids (IV) (SCHEME 22) are prepared from alcohol (XIV) by condensation with ethyl diazoacetate in the presence of a catalyst such as Rh(acac) dimer in a solvent such as dichloromethane to provide the alkoxyacetate derivative (LXXX). Cleavage of the heterocyclic ring nitrogen protected carbamate under standard conditions yields (LXXXI). This intermediate is processed to acid (IV) by amine derivitization and ester hydrolysis as previously outlined.

In the case where M=NR⁴, m=1, the requisite acids (IV) (SCHEME 23) are prepared from ketone (VIII) by reductive amination with a suitable α-amino acid ester (LXXXII) to give (LXXXIII). Subsequent cleavage of the heterocyclic nitrogen carbamate and processing of the resulting secondary amine as described above provides ester (LXXXIV). Hydrolysis of the ester under standard conditions yields (IV).

In the case where both Y₁ and M(CR¹R²)_(m)CO₂H are each connected to HetA at carbon atoms of HetA (SCHEME 24), the requisite acids (IV) can be prepared from a suitable protected keto-alcohol such as (LXXXV) by elaboration of the ketone functionality into M(CR¹R²)_(m)CO₂R by adaptation of the methods described above to give (LXXXVI). This sequence is followed by elaboration of the protected alcohol into Y₁ again, following the methods already outlined for this type of transformation.

The requisite functionalized heterocycles are known compounds or are prepared by various synthetic pathways depending on the nature of the heterocycle in question. For example, in the case where HetA is a piperidine, Y₁ is connected to HetA through the ring nitrogen and Y₂ is an optionally substituted aminomethyl (SCHEME 25), the requisite ketone (VIII) is prepared from amino aldehyde (LXXXVIII). Imine formation with diphenylmethylamine under standard conditions affords (LXXXIX). A tandem Mannich-Michael reaction with Danishefsky's diene (XC) in the presence of a Lewis acid such as zinc iodide in a solvent such as acetonitrile at a temperature of 0° C. or lower provides the desired enaminone which is selectively reduced using a reducing agent such as L-selectride in a solvent such as THF at a low temperature (−50° C. or below) to provide the piperidinone (XCI) (Tetrahedron, (1999) 55, 7601-7612). A standard protecting group switch, where appropriate by hydrogenolysis and BOC formation provides (VIII).

In the case where HetA is a pyrrolidine, Y₁ is connected to HetA through the ring nitrogen and Y₂ is an optionally substituted aminomethyl (SCHEME 26), the requisite ketone (VIII) is prepared from the known hydroxyl proline aldehyde (XCII) (Tetrahedron, (1991), 47(27), 5051-5070) by reductive amination with a suitable amine under conditions described previously to give (XCIII). This is followed by removal of the silyl protecting group using a reagent such as tetrabutylammonium fluoride in THF at around room temperature and oxidation of the intermediate alcohol with Dess-Martin periodinane in dichloromethane at room temperature to give (VIII).

In the case where HetA is a pyran ring, the requisite protected alcohol (LXXXVI) (SCHEME 27) is prepared from the known 2-acetoxy-4-benzyloxy-pyran (Organic Letters, (2008), 10(21), 4907-491) by Lewis acid mediated C—C bond formation using an allyl silane, vinyl silane, TMS cyanide, silylketene acetal or silyl enol ether to generate a range of side chains that can be elaborated into M(CR¹R²)CO₂R using methods described above.

In the case where HetA is a piperidin-2-one and Y₁ is linked to HetA through an amine functionality (SCHEME 28), the requisite substituted heterocycles are prepared from the known 4-amino-piperidin-2-one (XCVI) by reductive amination with excess benzophenone as described above to provide (XCVII). This is followed by elaboration of the piperidin-one nitrogen to install the (CR¹R²)_(m)CO₂R functionality. For example, in the case where m=2, the requisite side chain is introduced by treatment of (XCVII) with an acrylate derivative in the presence of a base such as cesium fluoride and a Lewis acid such as tetraethoxysilane (Tetrahedron Letters, (1994), 35(12), 1875-8) to give ester (XCVIII). In the case where m=1, treatment of (XCVII) with a bromo-acetate derivative in the presence of a base such as sodium hydride in a solvent such as DMF, DMA or NMP provides (XCIX). Hydrogenolysis of the N-benzyl groups in (XCVIII) or (XCIX) using palladium hydroxide in methanol at a hydrogen pressure of 1-4 atm yields the free amines (C) and (CI) respectively. These intermediates are derivatized as previously described for compound (XVIII).

In the case where HetA is a pyrrolidin-2-one and Y₁ is linked to HetA through an amine functionality, the requisite amines (CII) and (CIII) are prepared (SCHEME 29) as described above for the case of the piperidin-2-one, except starting with lactams (CIV) (Organic Letters (2012), 14(1), 218-221 and Journal of Organic Chemistry (2009), 74(11), 4177-4187).

In the case where HetA is a piperazin-2-one or 1,4-diazepan-2-one:Y₁ is attached to hetA at N-4 and (CR¹R²)_(m) is attached to HetA at N-1 (SCHEME 30), the requisite functionalized heterocycles are prepared from a suitable diamine (CV) by treatment with an appropriate α-keto ester substrate (CVI) under the reductive amination conditions described above to give intermediate (CVII). Deprotection of the carbamate and acid functionality by treatment with an acid such as trifluoroacetic acid in a solvent such as dichloromethane at around room temperature gives amino acid (CVIII). Cyclization is affected by treatment of (CVIII) with a reagent system such as pyridyldisulfide/triphenylphosphine in a solvent such as toluene at a temperature between room temperature and reflux to give (CIX). Elaboration of N-1 to install (CR¹R²)_(m)CO₂R is achieved, as previously described for the case of (XCVII), to provide the requisite intermediates (CXI) and (CXII).

In the case where HetA is a piperazine or 1,4-diazepane:Y₁ is attached to HetA at N-1 and (CR¹R²)_(m) is attached to HetA at N-4 and Y₂ is an aminomethyl group attached to HetA and C-2 (SCHEME 31), the requisite functionalized heterocycles are prepared from the C-2 carboxy-piperazine or 2-carboxy-1,4 diazepane (CXIII). Differential protection of the heterocyclic ring nitrogens is achieved using such reagents as 2-(Boc-oxyimino)-2-methylacetonitrile in the presence of camphorsulfonic acid to install a BOC group selectively at N-4. This is followed by standard CBZ protection at N-1 (Enantiomer (2001), 6(6), 343-345) to give (CXIV). Conversion of (CXIV) to the corresponding Weinreb amide using a reagent such as N,O-dimethylhydroxylamine hydrochloride with a coupling reagent such as N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-N′-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride and an organic base such as triethylamine and/or dimethylaminopyridine in a solvent such as dichloromethane affords (CXV). The activated amide is reduced using a reducing agent such as sodium borohydride in a solvent such as methanol to provide the alcohol (CXVI). Reaction (CXVI) with a sulfonyl halide such as methanesulfonyl chloride with an organic base such as triethylamine in a solvent such as dichloromethane at room temperature or below is followed by displacement of the sulfonate with an azide source such as sodium azide in a solvent such as DMF at room temperature or higher to yield the azide (CXVIII) (Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett., (2009) 19, 5440-5443). The azide is reduced following one of the procedures described previously and the resulting primary amine (CXIX) is derivitized as previously described. Deprotection of the BOC protecting group provides (CXX).

The heterocyclic olefins (such as XLIX) described in this text are known compounds or are prepared by a range of known synthetic methods. For example (SCHEME 32), (XLIX) can be prepared from an acyclic precursor (CXXI) by treatment with one of a range of Grubb's or Schrock metathesis catalysts (Tetrahedron, (2012), 68(2) 397-421; Organic Letters, (2007), 9(23), 4885-4888; Tetrahedron, (2004), 60, 7117-7139) in a solvent such as dichloromethane, at room temperature or above, or in an aqueous PEGs₅₀₀ dimethyl ether solution. These conditions are also suitable for the construction of heterocyclic olefins (CXXII) where the heteroatom is not attached to —Y_(p) or —(CR¹R²)_(m).

For a specific example, in the case where HetA is an oxepane ring linked to (CR¹R²)_(m) at C-2 and to Y₁ at C-5 (SCHEME 33), the requisite ketone intermediate (CXXIV) can be prepared from the acyclic precursor (CXXV) (Tetrahedron, (2007), 63(21), 4472-4490) by ring closure metathesis to give (CXXVI) followed by hydrogenation of the double bond. (CXXV) is, in turn, prepared by treatment of the secondary alcohol (CXXVII) with triphenylchloroacetonylphosphorane and olefination of the resulting phosphorane with formaldehyde.

In the case where Z is a sulfonyl group (SCHEME 34), the requisite sulfonic acid is prepared from the corresponding activated carboxylic acid (V) by treatment with sodium hydroxythiopyridone in a solvent such as dichloromethane, at around room temperature to yield the Barton ester intermediate (CXXVII). (CXXVII) is treated with iodoform in CCl₄ under a tungsten UV lamp at around reflux temperature to provide the de-carboxylative-iodination product (CXXVIII) (Journal of Organic Chemistry, 75(19), 6489-6501; 2010). Alternatively, treatment of acid (IV) with iodosobenzene-diacetate and iodine in CCl₄, under a tungsten UV lamp, at around reflux temperature (Journal of Organic Chemistry, (1986), 51, 402) provides (CXXVIII) directly. Treatment of (CXXVIII) with sodium sulfite in aqueous ethanol, isopropanol or acetone, at a temperature between 60 and 90° C., followed by acidification yields the sulfonic acid (IV). Alternatively, treatment of (CXXVIII) with thiourea in acetone, at around 60° C., provides the isothiouronium salt derivative (CXXIX) (Synthetic Letters, (2010), 7, 1037). Cleavage of (CXXIX) with aq. sodium thiosulphate gives thiol (CXXX). Treatment of (CXXX) with performic acid (formic acid and aqueous H₂O₂ at around 0° C. to room temperature) provides (IV).

The requisite amines (III) are prepared according to literature methods (WO2010/130708).

Biological Examples Example I: Experimental Method for β-Lactamase Enzyme Assays

Isolation of β-Lactamases

For SHV-5, Kpc-2, p99AmpC and OXA-1 β-lactamases, E. coli BL21(DE3) bacterial cells carrying expression plasmids (expressed as native untagged proteins) for the individual β-lactamases were grown in 1 L of Superbroth (Teknova Inc. Hollister, Calif.) supplemented with 100 μg/ml kanamycin selection and 1×5052 (0.5% glycerol, 0.05% glucose and 0.2% α-lactose) at 35° C. for 18-20 hours. Cells were harvested by centrifugation (4,000×g, 4° C., 20 min), resuspended in 50 ml of 10 mM HEPES pH 7.5 (1/20 of the initial volume). The cells were lysed by sonication (5 pulses of 45 seconds) at 45 W on ice. The lysates were clarified by centrifugation at 10,000×g for 40 minutes at 4° C. Samples were diluted 5-fold in 50 mM sodium acetate pH 5.0, stored overnight at 4° C., after which they were centrifuged at 10,000×g for 30 minutes to clarify, and filtered through 0.45 μm filters. The samples were loaded onto a 5 ml Capto S sepharose cation exchange column (GE Healthcare) pre-equilibrated with 50 mM sodium acetate pH 5.0. The column was washed with 5 column volumes of 50 mM sodium acetate pH 5.0 to wash out unbound protein and a linear gradient of NaCl (0 to 500 mM) was used to elute the protein (over 16 CV) from the column. Fractions were assayed for β-lactamase activity using Centa (Calbiochem, Gibbstown, N.J.) or Nitrocefin (EMD Millipore chemicals, Darmstadt, Germany) as a reporter β-lactamase substrate for activity in the isolated fractions. Active fractions were pooled, concentrated and further purified by gel filtration chromatography on a Superdex 75 prep grade gel filtration column (GE Healthcare, Piscataway, N.J.) pre-equilibrated in 50 mM Hepes pH 7.5, 150 mM NaCl. Active fractions were pooled concentrated, quantitated by BCA protein determination (Thermo Scientific, Rockford, Ill.), dialyzed into PBS and frozen at −80° C. in 20% glycerol until use.

For Vim-2 metallo β-lactamase, the procedure was identical with the following exceptions, first the protein was not pH adjusted to pH 5 with 50 mM sodium acetate, second, the chromatography step was changed to a 5 ml Q sepharose anion exchange column pre-equilibrated with 50 mM Hepes pH 7.5, and elution of the protein was achieved by a linear gradient of NaCl (0-600 mM). Finally, the VIM-2 purification required a second run (3^(rd) step) on the Q sepharose anion exchange column to achieve acceptable purity (>90%).

β-Lactamase Inhibition.

To determine the level of inhibition of β-lactamase enzymes, compounds were diluted in PBS at pH 7.4 to yield concentrations ranging from 100 to 0.00005 μM in 96-well microtiter plates. An equal volume of diluted enzyme stock was added, and the plates were incubated at 37° C. for 15 min. Nitrocefin was used as substrate for p99 AmpC, VIM-2 and OXA-1 and dispensed into each well at a final concentration of 100 μM. Absorbance at 486 nm was immediately monitored for 10 min using a Biotek Powerwave XS2 microplate spectrophotometer using the GEN5 softweare package (Biotek Instruments, Winooski Vt.). In an analogous fashion, imipenem was used as substrate for Kpc-2 and Cefotaxime was used for SHV-5, while changes in absorbance upon hydrolysis of the β-lactam ring were monitored at 300 nm and 260 nm respectively in UV-transparent 96-well microtiter assay plates. Maximum rates of hydrolysis were compared to those in control wells (without inhibitors), and percentages of enzyme inhibition were calculated for each concentration of inhibitor. The concentration of inhibitor needed to reduce the initial rate of hydrolysis of substrate by 50% (IC₅₀) was calculated as the residual activity of β-lactamase at 486 nm using GraFit version 7 kinetics software package (Erithacus Software, Surrey, UK).

Example II: Inhibition of Diverse β-Lactamases by Exemplary Compounds

Using the methodology described above, examples of the current invention were evaluated for their ability to inhibit β-lactamase enzymes from all four Ambler classifications (A through D).

Example III: In Vitro Antibacterial Assays of R-Lactamase Inhibition

To determine the ability of test compounds to potentiate the inhibition of the growth of bacterial strains that produce beta-lactamase enzymes, classic cell based broth microdilution MIC assays were employed. Six bacteria strains producing beta-lactamase enzymes were used: E. coli expressing the Class A Extended Spectrum Beta-Lactamase (ESBL) CTX-M-15, E. cloacae expressing the Class C P99, K. pneumoniae expressing the Class A carbapenemase KPC-3, P. aeruginosa expressing the Class B carbapenemase VIM-2, K. pneumoniae expressing the class A carbapenemase KPC-2 and the class B carbapenemase VIM-4, and S. aureus producing the Class A penicillinase PC-1. The assay was conducted in Cation Adjusted Mueller Hinton Broth (CAMHB, BD #212322, BD Diagnostic Systems, Sparks, Md.). Bacteria strains were grown for 3-5 hours in CAMBH broth. Test compounds (Examples 1-30) were added to a microtiter plate in 2-fold serial dilutions in CAMHB in a final concentration range of 32 μg/mL to 0.25 μg/ml. An overlay of CAMHB containing a Beta-lactam was added to the compounds at a final static concentration of 4 μg/ml. Ceftazidime (CAZ, Sigma#C3809-1 G, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, Mo.) was used as the partner antibiotic for E. coli expressing Ambler Class A ESBL CTX-M-15 (MIC alone>128 μg/ml), and E. cloacae expressing Class C P99 (MIC alone=128 μg/mL). Meropenem (Mero, USP #1392454, U.S. Pharmacopeia, Rockville, Md.) was used as the partner antibiotic for K. pneumoniae expressing Ambler Class A carbapenemase KPC-3 (MIC alone>128 μg/mL), P. aeruginosa expressing Class A carbapenemase VIM-2 (MIC alone=16 g/mL), and K. pneumoniae expressing the Ambler Class A carbapenemase KPC-2 and Ambler Class B carbapenemase VIM-4 (MIC alone=64 μg/mL). Piperacillin (Pip, Fisher #ICN15626801, MP Biomidicals, Solon, Ohio) was used as the partner antibiotic for S. aureus producing the Class A penicillinase PC-1 (MIC alone=64 μg/ml). Titration of test compounds with MIC readout indicates the concentration of test article needed to sufficiently inhibit beta-lactamase enzyme activity and protect the intrinsic antibacterial activity of the beta-lactam. In addition to the titration of test compounds the MICs of a panel of control beta-lactams is also tested to ensure the strains are behaving consistently from test to test. Once the test compound and antibiotics are added the plates can be inoculated according to CLSI broth microdilution method. After inoculation the plates are incubated for 16-20 hours at 37° C. then the Minimal Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) of the test compound is determined visually.

Using the methodology described above, examples of the current invention were evaluated for their ability to inhibit the growth of β-lactamase-producing bacteria in the presence of a β-lactam antibiotic.

Representative results are shown in Table 3 where A represents an MIC>16 g/mL, B represents an MIC between 1 and 16 μg/mL inclusive, and C represents an MIC of <1 μg/mL. NT=Not Tested.
